SPRINGFIELD -- Eighteen people were displaced early Monday in a fire that caused some $20,000 to $30,000 in damage to a three-family home in the Liberty Heights neighborhood home.

“All the people got out,” said Dennis Leger, aide to Commissioner Joseph Conant.

No injuries were reported and firefighters rescued a pit bull, two puppies and a cat from the blaze at 23-25 Bartlett St., Leger said.

The fire was caused by an electrical malfunction involving a wall plug and a cord, Leger said.

The fire was reported shortly before 12:45 a.m.

Two adults and four children were displaced from the first floor, three adults and four children were displaced from the second floor and two adults and three children were displaced from the third floor, Leger said.

The Pioneer Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross is assisting those displaced.
